I was getting ready for work Friday morning and my trusty 50w istick finally bit the dust and was completely dead.
I went to use my back up and that wouldn't work either. Anyways I went without nicotine from about 645am till I went to lunch. I was looking for something cheap and temporary but there wasn't much selection so I said screw it and bought what I wanted. Very happy! Rx200 with Sony vtc 5's with a uwell crown on top! Quite the upgrade from I stick and v1 Atlantis. Anyone else got the same setup? How's battery life and what wattage do you run the .25 crown coils at? I've been running around 50w and even with a plastic driptip it gets pretty warm. Also I didn't have the cash for a good charger right away so I will be charging them internally temporarily until I get a nice 4+ bay charger. Anyone have any pointers? Any recommendations on where to get the charger and 3 more batteries for it? I've been monitoring battery voltage and all 3 have stayed very close. What's the most variance there should be between them? Thanks guys!

The charging port is UN balanced and does un equal charges per cell.
If you use the .5 ohm coils with a lower ( 25 - 35 ) watt it will be a little "cooler" vape

nice setup, was rx was my 3rd mod ever, crown being my 2nd tank ever, loved it. for prebuilt coils the crown puts out some really nice flavor.

I prefer the 0.5ohms and used to run it at 40 watts. Tried the ni200 temp control, didn't like it on the reuleaux rx that much. Haven't tried temp on my DNA mods yet, I guess I'm more of a power mode guy...kinda reminds me of driving a manual.

Thanks guys. I'm really liking it so far. I'll be ordering a nice charger and 3 more batteries this week. Wow I thought the juice consumption was a lot with my Atlantis at 35 watts but this thing goes through the juice! I turn the wattage down to around 35 during the day at work. I don't need a bunch of attention from blowing clouds lol.

What do you guys think of this charger? I was thinking of ordering this with 3 LG HG2's. Also I'm not getting quite the battery life I expected. Running .25 ohm coil between 40-50w. The voltage just seems to drop a little quicker than I expected but I haven't let them go below 3.6v.

I don't know anything about Efest other than to stay away from their batteries. I bought my Nitecore D4 off of Amazon for the same price.

Efest, Xtar, Nitecore are all popular charger brands on the forum. I have the Xtar and Nitecore, you can't go wrong with any of them.
